Scientific discoveries always cheer me up. I don’t want to say much, but yesterday was a pretty fought, stressful day: there have been one or two problems that I thought I could ignore which I realised cannot be ignored. But don’t worry – I’m sure such issues will be resolved soon. On a more cheerful note, however, it seems that scientists have found what they are calling a ‘hint’ of the Higgs-Boson. Not that I know anything about such things, but the Higgs-boson is apparently the particle which gives everything substance. This hint is therefore a pretty big discovery, and, like the extra-solar planet I mentioned recently, I find it quite exciting. It seems no matter how big a mess I’m making, or temporarily feel I’m making, of my life personally, the scientists will always be there to cheer me up with their breakthroughs.
